Here's some quick math. 

Simple math I think. 

It makes the math very tough on purchasing, at least from my perspective. 

Eviction details, line of work, years on the job, and some quick frontend DTI math. 

Any one of us could give you our two cents on the math of it, but only you can decide if it makes sense based on what your specific goals are. personally, i paid points on my house because my goal was lowest possible monthly payment.

Doing the math for maintenance savings: $200.00 month, Cashflow: $308.93. 

Quick math says you're collecting roughly $420/mo in cleaning fees.

With appreciation and loan payoffs the past 6 years, we would have about $250k profit after closing costs at the estimated home value (doing quick math).

We avoid lending to folks that don't really have their math/numbers together.

For quick math I have a range of each between: 700/yr to 3% of gross income
